Interested in enabling communication scenarios on the latest devices for Windows Phone 7?

The job posting (after the break) confirms Microsoft’s intent to bring Office Communicator Mobile to Windows phone 7. It comes as no real surprise, but it is reassuring to see that Microsoft is working on bringing over the software that made Windows mobile particularly suitable to enterprise to Windows phone 7, an OS Microsoft emphasized was intended mainly for consumers.
